Over The Wall, a UK children’s charity, is delighted to announce it has signed a forty-year lease with the Moravian Union to take occupancy of the former Ockbrook School as its new headquarters and national location to run its award-winning residential camps for seriously ill children, and their families.

Founded by the late Oscar-winning Hollywood actor, racing driver, and philanthropist, Paul Newman, Over The Wall’s specialist residential camps help children living with serious illness, and their families, address the isolation, loneliness, low self-esteem, and confidence that often accompany childhood illness.

The charity’s completely free-of-charge programmes give these children the opportunity to take part in activities often denied to them, in a fun-filled, positively affirming, safe environment where, in the friendly and often boisterous company of peers, they can just be kids and do lots of kids’ stuff. Over The Wall proudly boasts, with good reason, that they help to ‘put the child back into childhood.’
